A dog whose owner died remained under a nearby shed for a year in the hope someone would come and rescue him.

Uploaded by Eldad Hagar, the video explains that, after his owner passed away and the family left him behind after selling the house, Woody was forced to live under a shed, surviving on food and water left out by neighbours.

Fortunately, Woody was found by the Hope for Paws animal rescue team, who used a hoop on the end of a stick to pull the terrified mutt from his hiding spot.
